Curry leaves

PREPARATION

Take the cooked rice (cooled) in a large bowl. ( Normally white rice is used for making curd rice / thayir sadam. But here i used brown rice / matta rice, the best way to include brown rice in our diet).

To this, add fresh curd / yogurt and combine well with the cooked rice. ( Some people mash the cooked rice before adding the curd, but i never prefer so. All you need is, the rice must be little mushy. You can also add little milk if the curd is more sour. ) Add more or less curd as per the consistency needed.

Now heat a pan with little oil and saute all the ingredients for seasoning.
